Howie enjoyed coloring eggs and hunting for them.

Here is Howie as Mr. Potato Head.
Here is our little rock star.
Howard has learned how to count to 15. What a smart little boy! He is learning new things everyday and loving life.

Abigail is coming sooner than we thought. She only has a few more weeks to go. Mark and I are so excited to meet her and take on this new challenge in our lives.

Learning, Growing, and Hunting

Howie has been learning a lot of new things. He is learning numbers and how to use a pencil. Here he is trying to put his shoes on.

We went to Texas and Howie had an egg hunt.


Howie loves his momma.
Escape of the candy!
I am growing bigger everyday and we have decided on a name for our little girl. We are going to name her Abigail. Abby has only three more months until her big arrival. Howie has been talking to her, but he has to be able to see my bellybutton while he does it. He's going to be a good big brother.

I made my first successful loaf of bread this week. I didn't realize how hard that can be.

Mark is painting all the time and hopefully one of his paintings will be in a show soon.

It's a GIRL!

We found out yesterday that we are having a little girl! We are so excited and can't wait to see her!

Howie played in the snow for the first time and he loved it. He has also been very interested in learning his letters and numbers.

Howie also loves to brush his teeth with his daddy's toothbrush.

Who loves Cars?

What a cute little reindeer. Since Christmas Howie has been watching Cars, running, playing, eating dinner at the table, wearing out his mom, and watching Cars. He also went to nursery for the first time alone and had no problems.

Mark has been painting, helping out with Howie, keeping me sane, and painting some more. I am just trying to survive being pregnant with a toddler.

We are looking forward to having another little one to care for, and we will find out if Peanut is a boy or girl on Valentines day. We are so excited!
